Sure, but I’ve tried Frigate, and it’s not even close to Reolink in terms of ease of use. It was a giant pain in the ass to get it working to detect people in the camera. And even then, getting a push notification is something I couldn’t even figure out. And using it on a phone is really bad UX.

Oh ok. I was thinking wifi. Yeah, that’s strange that they won’t work with direct ethernet.

Because humans will put tits on anything. I watched a movie about sentient cockroaches, and the girl cockroaches all had tits.

How would you connect them to your network? They have no inputs.
- Comment on Cams, anyone? 1 day ago:
I would assume it’s based on TURN, since you don’t need to log in.

A non-insignificant portion of my life has been spent enjoying code that she wrote and games that she developed. Rest in peace.

Reolink cameras are self-hosted. You don’t have to have an account in their app, and nothing is synced to the cloud. It’s all stored locally. They’re expensive cameras by comparison, but a. they’re really high quality, and b. they’re not subsidized by subscription fees.

That’s the ugliest purse I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 days ago:
Yes, but that’s a different sale. My point is it can still be considered a loss leader if they sell it at cost. It took them many millions to develop it, so overall they would be losing money on the hardware sales.
That’s as opposed to something like Costco’s hot dogs. There was no R&D there, so if they sold it at cost, I wouldn’t consider it a loss leader.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 4 days ago:
Even if they sell at cost, they’re losing money because of the R&D costs.

Idk man, Linux seems not like this at all. But windows and the rest of corpo-software-hell, yeah.

He has stated as much, so, yeah.

Wait, no, don’t take the sky from me!
- Comment on Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games? 1 week ago:
Turn based RPGs would be good. You could use the controller one handed. Especially things made for game boy, since there aren’t a lot of buttons.

A. Its not his detergent powder, he’s just tangentially involved.
B. He’s not profiting from sales.
C. The people selling it aren’t profiting from sales. It goes to charity.
D. Most of his video is not a pitch. The pitch was a small part.

All profits from what he’s selling go to charity.

- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
You should check out Port87. :) You wouldn’t need to change any of your addresses if you bring your domain on. Custom domains is $10/month though, so it would cost you more. Hopefully the features would be worth it for you, and if not, you can always migrate it again to a different provider. That’s something I love about email. If you have your own domain, you can completely avoid vendor lock in.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
I meant that I made it. :) It’s my own email service, and I run it on Proxmox. So, take this with a grain of salt knowing that I wrote and run it, but I think it’s the best email service by far. I wrote an article about how it works really well for me here:

Feel free to sign up for free and try it out. :D
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
It’s got more than just VM management, but yeah, it’s a frontend for a bunch of other services, that you don’t need Proxmox for.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
It’s great if you need what it offers. Otherwise, it’s simpler to set up something like Ubuntu Server.
I use Proxmox to run my email service, port87.com, because I can have high-availability services that can move around the different Proxmox hosts. It’s great for production stuff.
I also use it to run my seedbox, because graphics in the browser through Proxmox is really easy.
For everything else (my Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc), I have a server that runs Ubuntu Server and use a docker compose stack for each service.
